CORE 3.0.4 FINAL WALLET NOW AVAILABLE - MUST UPGRADE - OCT/29/2017Core 3.0.4 Final wallet binaries & full release note is now available on github.
https://github.com/PIVX-Project/PIVX/releases/tag/v3.0.4Mandatory PIVX v3.0.4 (final) core wallet update has been released. This is the stable GA build which all users can use. All exchanges have been notified to update to this build. It includes numerous additional fixes & enhancements over the RC3 release. Please check the release notes for the full change log.
(Note: NO ONE should be running any other version than THIS ONE. So please upgrade asap.)WHAT TO DO1. If your 3.0.4 RC2 or RC3 is working fine right now and is on the right chain, you do not have to re-sync the blockchain from beginning when upgrading to 3.0.4 final. You just need to shut down the RC2/RC3 wallet, install (or replace files) to the new 3.0.4 wallet, then restart the wallet. Wait for it to recalculate/sync. Voila.
2. If you aren't even running 3.0.4 RC2 or RC3 yet, then you must upgrade to this 3.0.4 final release and re-sync the blockchain: (3.0.4 wallet now has built-in -resync option in CLI & GUI)

Thanks jakiman! Update downloaded, being in the reindexing phaze. Congratulation to the devs and everyone to have done such a wonderful work! zPIV is awesome and really enhance privacy manifold!
Hi, updated wallet and now 10% of zPiv's.
I'm "hodler & staker" what should I do...
Keep 10% in zPivs? Can these be staked?
Should I turn the zPivs back to normal pivs to maximize the staking? How?
Thanks.
Currently, zPIV does not stake. But having them in zPIV helps the entire PIVX network's zPIV liquidity/anonimity. So it's up to you to decide which you like.
If you want to stake that extra 10%, you can simply disable it via config file or limit the auto-mint denomination to a size larger than 10% of your PIV balance.
Then you can spend that zPIV back to your PIV address. Keep in mind that you can only transfer up to 7 zPIV denominations per single spend transaction atm.
Thanks for this wonderful advice! it's a pleasure that you are back jakiman!
All my pivxs have been converted to zpiv and most are back to pivx. I kept some in zpiv for the same reasons as jakiman wrote.
I just send some coins. The speed of transactions is too fast. Well done, developers. It's really good coin.
fast, energy efficient, best privacy tech, strong chain, decentralized governance, great support, awesome community... what could be improved:
the ios mobile wallet and then the elastic block size to cope with txs volume.
keep staking!
